EIN / TIN

EINs (Employer Identification Numbers) or TINs (Tax Identification Numbers) are IRS identification numbers for invoicing and tax purposes that are assigned to the University of Georgia (UGA) and the University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGARF).  UGA and UGARF are separate entities and have separate EIN/TIN numbers.  Proposal submissions through Grants.gov and to other sponsors require that the applicant’s identifier EIN/TIN be correct, so be sure you are using the correct entity and its associated EIN/TIN when you submit a proposal.

Another identification system frequently required by sponsors is based on a Dun and Bradstreet registration number, commonly known as a DUNs number (Data Universal Numbering System). DUNs numbers are assigned to most businesses (both for-profit and non-profit in the US).  Like EINs/TINs, the University of Georgia (UGA) and the University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGARF) have separate DUNs numbers.  Depending on the sponsor, you may be required to provide a DUNs number or EIN/TIN number, or both, for the particular entity under which your application is being submitted.
